Are you talking about the new collectibles?   Because that's not my experience. (That the drop rates are abysmal) Less than a week since the update and I already have over 100 of each of the commons and 10-15 of each of the rare.    Enough to make 10+ insightful shards that I want   That's not really a grind.   There are so many easy farms on collectibles. 

And the new slavers has probably 30-40 dispensaries in the entire chain.   A few runs thru that without farming gives you a ton. 


Flav's characters can usually not fight their way out of wet paper bags, so for him the drop rates at lvl 26+ ARE abysmal  Grin

That's what guildies are for.  If you can't pike your way to free lootz with them, why are they there?

once you start messing around with dualboxes, you can complete a quest, then rotate through all your characters to pick up stuff while keeping the instance active.

probably not much fun though...

Who said anything about fun? We're talking about a Turbine grind, they lost the secret knowledge of repetitive but fun years ago.
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

for the record, After hitting Grim and Barrett with about 50 toons I can confirm a few things (@ lvl 26+)

Mushrooms and Fungus nodes ONLY give out Crypt Moths, Hairy Trumps, and Shimmering Spore Pods.
Bookshelves only give out Ancient Texts Archaic Logbooks, and Oratorios.
Crude Altars only give out Pouches, Censers, and Vials

DDOWiki makes it seem like nodes can give out different sets of collectibles, but it's definitely either node or quest-specific (maybe crude altars give out different mats in different quests, but in a given quest it's static).

I think the only exception is adventurers packs, which can drop whatever and seem to give out massively more flint knives than anything else. I haven't had an alchemy table in any of my farms so can't confirm what they drop.

Also I may be supremely unlucky but shimmering spore pods seem to be the rarest of all the rares. I have 86 moths, but only 5 shimmering pods. I have 5 Vials and 3 Oratorios with about 35 of each Ancient Texts and 43 Brass censers.

Again, could just be streakiness, but I have hit 2-3x more nature/fungus nodes and have a seemingly small number of spores.

Yeah he is a good player as well. It makes a bit of a difference to me. I tried to help him out a bit, but I just can't bear to "farm" stuff anymore.
  

Fuck Off, That is all

T5 the unquiet graves is an easy farm. 3 collectibles no aggro or combat if you just run past the first named and farm the nodes. Rinse and repeat as desired.
